I've been around in Thailand since 1989,in Pattaya/Jomtien since 1994. You're a newbie and you argue about visas and also don't have a clue about the term permission to stay? I repeat: It doesn't matter how and where you arrived. You're on a permission to stay.Period.

@John ******

The initial visa you arrived on is not the same as being "on a visa" while in Thailand. Get it? You're extending your permission to stay at immigration,nothing else.Have you ever arrived on a visa of any kind? Like for example years ago on a 60 days tourist visa with the sticker in the passport? The first thing that happened at the airport at the passport control,the immigration officer stamped the sticker "USED". Then,same as now,you got the "Admitted until" stamp. That's the permission to stay.

It's easier to help you if you come up with correct information about yourself.That's crucial when it comes to visas.

@Ian *******

Is 650k correct? Last time I saw the price online it was 900k.Correct me if I'm wrong and they've adjusted the price.

@John ******

No one has a visa when in Thailand. It doesn't matter how you arrived,on a visa exempt or on a visa. You're on a permission to stay. That's the correct terminology. Just saying.

You're extending your permission to stay.It's not a visa.

I know this because I live here and have been here for many years.My contract shows info from my landlords Irish passport and the same from my passport. Plus of course addresses and phone numbers. Nothing from the blue house book. This is of course accepted by Jomtien immigration.My landlord is not even the owner.

@Tsering ********

They will imo change it back in the near future.

Read my comment again,if you can read and understand simple English.I told you the reason why KBank informed people about registering phone numbers from 2022.

A border run when staying om Koh Samui isn't exactly a walk in the park. But I do understand what you mean.
